I mean how f****ing vacant can some one get? There must be loads of folk without a gram of individuality who just behave like sheep.

So no one buys Yamahas because Rossi rides one Or a Ducati because Stoner is doing well at the moment.
Consider that a lot of folk's bought sports bikes (in the UK) because they were cool. Never mind the practicalities or competence of the pilots. Now its cool to have a big "adventure" bike. So what?
In Germany, the 1150 GS was was the biggest selling bike for 3 or 4 consecutive years when it came out and C & E had not been heard of! How did that happen. Simple. Its a more "ridable" bike for a lot of people.
